AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

The Netherlands’ largest (but fairly shitty) newspaper published an interview with what turned out to be a fake AI persona

GEC POI: Ost-in-Edhil Click here to find out more about this location

Ost-in-Edhil

This system contains nine planets, all ringed. Planet 8 has four ringed moons, two of which are also gas giants. Under the right conditions, all five bodies can line up in the same field of view.

Panel 1: Shen is up against a wall behind a building somewhere, with a girl in dark reddish purple and red "sukeban" attire punches the wall next to him. She says "GIVE ME YOUR PUNCH MONEY, NERD!!" He holds he backpack in front of himself to shield himself.

Panel 2: Shen, scared and sweating a bit, closes his eyes and says "I-I don't have lunch money today!"

Panel 3: Sweating ever more, he opens up his backpack and says "BUT, um, I made this drawing of you." He pulls out a drawing of the sukeban girl in profile view, resting a wooden sword on her shoulder, inside a circle with a wave-like pattern.

Panel 4: The sukeban girl, holding the drawing and still scowling, says "wow that's actually really good." She has a bandage on her left cheek, red eyes, sharp teeth, and a hairclip that looks like a little knife.

One of the largest structures in the known cosmos is hidden behind gas & dust in our galaxy.

A new study pierces the gloom & reveals the true extent of the Vela Supercluster: over 300 million light years wide, more than 100,000x as massive as the Milky Way. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope observed Herbig-Haro 49/50, an outflow from a nearby still-forming star, in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The intricate features of the outflow, represented in reddish-orange color, provide detailed clues about how young stars form and how their jet activity affects the environment around them. A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object (located within our Milky Way) with a more distant, face-on spiral galaxy in the background.

A little dose of celestial beauty for you.

This space tornado is a set of shockwaves created by high-speed gas flowing away from a newborn star. And the spooky lamp at its tip is a distant galaxy that (by coincidence) happens to appear right where the shock ends. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­

You have to cross the Strait of Hormuz with your *checks notes* highly explosive supertanker !
We will pay your insurance !

It’s way too dangerous for our own navy though. Good luck !

Panel 1: Shen is standing in a complicated machine, having seemingly just appeared inside it with sparks of green electricity. His clothes billow as he yells "AAA!! WHERE AM I??"

Panel 2: A serious looking, realistically drawn scientist begins to, with furrowed brow and intense shading, seriously explain: "It is the year 2155. We brought someone from the past who has an attention span of more than 6 seconds to"

Panel 3: The scientist is suddenly very simply/cutely drawn, now having raised his phone to his face and happily looking at it.

Panel 4: Shen raises his hands in a confused gesture and frustratedly says "YOU GUYS BUILT A TIME MACHINE IN 6 SECOND INTERVALS??"

This is an image of the star WOH G64, taken by the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (ESO’s VLTI). This is the first close-up picture of a star outside our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The star is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, over 160 000 light-years away. The bright oval at the centre of this image is a dusty cocoon that enshrouds the star. A fainter elliptical ring around it could be the inner rim of a dusty torus, but more observations are needed to confirm this feature.

Astronomers watched as the star WOH G64 transformed from a red supergiant into a rare, shortlived yellow supergiant star...in just 12 years.

It's a dramatic, rapid instability in a star that is rapidly headed toward a cataclysmic supernova explosion. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­
